Former Lt. Gov. Michael Steele (R-Prince George's County), a candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee, launched his campaign website over the weekend.
SteeleforChairman.com reflects Steele's campaign message of repairing the party brand, and places an emphasis on both grassroots politicking and technology.
Users can send Steele their ideas via text message or even web video. "The Case for Michael Steele" lays out Steele's resume and plans for the party.
"After two consecutive election disasters, the Republican Party will not succeed by simply doing the same things over again," the website says, before highlighting Steele's past leadership positions. "Now in his race for RNC chair Lt. Governor Steele has published a detailed plan that outlines how he will reorganize the RNC: to put members and grassroots back in charge, attract the best and brightest professionals and start winning again for Republicans across the country."
The 168 members of the RNC will select the next RNC chair in January.
Other candidates said to be interested in the position include the current RNC Chair Mike Duncan, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), Florida Republican Party Chair Jim Greer, Chip Saltsman, who managed Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign, former RNC official Chuck Yob and former U.S. Rep. Jim Nussle (R-Iowa), who currently serves as the director of the Office of Management and Budget in the White House.
Michigan Republican Party Chair Saul Anuzis has officially announced his bid and South Carolina Republican Party Chair Katon Dawson announced his candidacy Monday, according to Politico.
